That really oughtn't be true, unless you've got a non-Windows boot manager on the machine. > . . .

Just install a fresh copy of Windows in a new folder, alongside the old one. If you don't have enough space for that, then I'd suggest that you probably don't have enough free space on the system partition (assuming you're putting the swap file on the system partition, which would be the only sensible place on a system where the only other available volume is FAT -- there's not much point in running NTFS on the system drive if you're storing the swap file on a non-NTFS volume). -- David W.
